Halloween Decorating Inside and Out

I hate the weather getting cold, but I love that it brings my favorite holidays. So, it's a trade off. 

I'm a minimalist for Halloween. (just wait for Christmas, though.)

The skeleton votive holders are 3D printed, and painted with acrylic paints. 

And then, of course, we have to have JC's legos. 

OH, and what's Halloween without a dog walking a skeleton dog?

I wonder if we'll ever have too many holiday inflatables? 

We just picked up this spider from Aldi last week. I love Aldi.

These are my favorite inflatables. Three pooches who are out trick or treating. Along with my ghosts and pumpkins handmade by myself and my Dad. I blogged about them last year. 

Sadly, just yesterday, the fan failed on the pooches. JC researched new fans online, and found them to be in the $35 range, but then someone commented that for much less than that you could buy some other inflatable that you don't like and take the fan out of that! Aldi, here we come to pick up another $9.99 inflatable to sacrifice for my pooches.

3D Halloween Printing Fun!

JC has been getting into the season of Halloween. 

He's dusted off the 3D printer and given me a lot of work to do painting things. 

These are magic pumpkins, before being painted. 

See the magic? When you put a light inside, a jackolantern face glows.

Below is a short video of a skeleton in the process of being printed.

 Pumpkins are all painted. Now to paint the skeleton votive holder. 

Looking spooky!

Below is a skull JC printed last year, which I just got around to painting. I did it in phases, and I just told him with this last shot, that this skull is getting scarier and scarier. I think that means I'm done with him. Pretty soon I won't be able to be in the same room with it.

I think my favorite is the coffin and mummy. 

I have yet to paint them.

Next to a cap for scale. I love miniatures, maybe that's why this is my favorite. 

 And here is one of the above pumpkins sitting on top of a lamp to demonstrate the glowing. There was a blip in the printing process, that is why you see the line through his noggin. 

Thanks for visiting!

Skeletal

Here is my attempt at drawing a Skeleton. It was not fun at all. Too complicated trying to get every bone in the right place. But then, I bet if I didn't try so hard, it wouldn't even matter. Would it?
